HanoiVillan Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I'd play him at RB and Guilbert at LB, but not at Arsenal, at least until Targett is fit and up to speed. Need to keep the continuity in the backline for Arsenal though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't mess with a back line that kept a clean sheet when you're away at a big six team. Taylor is better sitting back and defending anyway. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Elmo's attitude, I have to say, as been first class since losing his place to Freddie. His enthusiasm hasn't waned one bit. A great example to others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On his good days he makes really good decisions and has a killer pass in him. I like him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Good lad Elmo, but if you are bringing on players of this quality to change games in the PL you are going to struggle big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what we should expect of all our players. It's the point of having a squad and competition for places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time he has been called of that bench he has shown a fighting quality, that I, for one, applaud.

I suppose we could say the same for El Ghazi and Jota, who've recently lost their places and then come back in, and they've not embarrassed themselves in terms of effort. Douglas Luiz too, when he came on as a sub on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could understand him wanting to throw his toys,but no, he's just got on with it. Luiz wasn't dropped . The manager thought he was still a little tired from his international duties to play on Monday. Anwar was deservedly dropped ,as for Jota, I wouldn't exactly call him a mainstay in the team.

villalad21 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 You always know what you get from him. Steady 7/10 performance every game. To top it off with the winner as well. True professional. Happy to have him in the squad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 My MoTM last night, solid performance all round and barely put a foot wrong I thought. Was a toss up between him and Luiz. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I know I'll probably be laughed at, but given that both have very good crossing ability, I wouldn't to too adverse to seeing Elmo and Guilbert on the right from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
